Adam Wharton is struggling to compute his “surreal” ascent from Blackburn debutant to England’s Euro 2024 squad over the last 22 months.
The 20-year-old midfielder is the second youngest player in Gareth Southgate’s squad in Germany and has the least amount of top-level experience under his belt.
Asked how he sums up his 22-month rise from his Rovers debut in the Carabao Cup first round against Fleetwood to being with Southgate’s side in Germany, he said: “It is hard to. It is just a dream come true.“I got to play for the team I supported to begin with and really enjoyed that. The midfielder looked similarly confident in front of the media as he did the first press conference at England’s Blankenhain Castle base.
“Obviously they probably beat me up a few times in the garden, but that all helps you get used to the physical side of the game.
